LSD | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/27/08 I really cant find this meaning in th esong but at the concert las year at teh nassau collesium townshend said it was written about lsd and that he wrote it either before or after he tried it. he didnt remember. hahaha Great song | Reviewer: David | 9/8/07 First time i heard this song I was in a record (yes record) shop in Bluefield, WV. Was pretty much overwhelmed by the sound of it all as a whole. But was most impressed with Pete's voice. Phonies | Reviewer: Mark | 7/21/07 I love this song, was especially glad they played it last year. originally for the beat but then the lyrics got to me, sums up the whole reason why I don't go to bars anymore. Why can't anyone just be themself? I come from a government city where everyone seems to just be another brick in the wall. also being a smoker, and hating alcohol, its hard for me to relax and unwind while everyone is in a binge all around me. Remembering the 80's | Reviewer: Pete | 4/24/07 This song sparks a lot in the mind of those who lived in the 80's. At some point in our lives, we all had an eminence front. We put on our suits and ties and act like we were superior (fake it til you make it). Those people are forced, some by their work or their nightlife, to forget who they are. Then there are those that are living the dual life that "forget they're hiding". This kind of living will continue for generations and generations, whether good or bad. Just don't forget who you are, and put the Eminence front on, "it's a put-on". All my love, Pete :-) kick asss | Reviewer: daniel | 8/29/06 this song is really good seeing it's not in thier moon era but they still gots it and this song proves it entwhistle plays a kick ass bass line!!!amd pete play a face melting intro Eminence Front | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/05 This is a great song.
